Some of the most delicious and elegant dishes take only a handful of ingredients. Many of those keep very well for several days. And many of those can be made into entirely new dishes the following several days.

OP, you are doing it wrong. Stop being a tremendous faggot. It is not our fault you did not develop your own comfort food dishes.

Stop taking vyvanse fren. In the meantime while you regain desire to cook, keep things like fruit around so you can eat when you feel like it.

anon i think you might be overthinking it all, a lot of my favourites can be prepared in under 20 mins, like a traditional carbonara or a thai green papaya salad

When you cook you want to feel what your parents had together but you're not getting that, so you have been increasing the complexity as if that will suddenly make the magic come back to it. It won't, and you should cook some easier foods and eat them. One day if you have a wife and kids you'll get the magic again

How do I know you JUST started taking vyvanse

Your body will get adapted to it and eventually you will start getting ravenously hungry.
Not to mention, at least when I was taking vyvanse that shit was stupid expensive. Like I mean like well over 300 bucks for 30 pills. If you wanna do drugs that cut your appetite meth is cheaper.

[Anonymous No.17205410]

You are a literal idiot.

The first reply is correct, you are doing food and cooking wrong. Man, if you can't find satisfaction in making perfect carbonara or tomato soup, you don't know how to live. I'd be crying too if I were you.

A cooking burnout is normal, I've had one 2 years after non stop daily baking/cooking with high prep times, just started buying frozen pizzas and the most difficult thing I did back then was my own pizza after the frozen ones started tasting bad
You'll get your cooking spirit back anon, I believe in you

The pasta is just a fun way to express the sauces you make. My advice is that you fine tune the best of the simple dishes. Everyone needs these lovable staples in their lives. I have a sauce dish that is basically oil, tomatoes, and garlic. I never get sick of it because I have to down so well it is always delicious and I always want it.

Also Indian cooking is great for complex dishes done under 30 mins. Once you get the spice measurements down it's just braising, marinating, and stewing. But it still takes a ton of ingredients and you can customize the shit out of them. You can also source really great ingredients if you want to get that extra step in there.

If you come back here make some OC on what you are cooking so we can give you hell about that. It'll be fun.
